[laughter] maria: we have a lot coming up this morning. former u.s. embassador to united nations bolton is reacting to the activity in mosul this morning. trump campaign adviser with us, republican strategist and co-chairman of the great america pac ed rollins and judge andrew napolitano so long with former fdic chairman sheila bear so do stay with us. iraqi government launching offensive to retake mosul from isis. fox news con or powell is in

jerusalem with the latest. >> this morning 4:00 a.m. prime minister said security forces have begun operations to take city from isis. security forces have began moving to the southern and eastern parts of the city. earlier this morning the u.s.-led coalition began with air strikes pounding isis in several different locations, once the sun rose this morning security forces began to take, now, there isn't a push into the larger city right now, that will take several days. what they are trying to do consolidate territory around mosul. villages have fallen to security forces. this operation is not without some controversy, there is a fear among both iraqi and fighters, the kurds and turks about what will mosul look like

once the city has fallen from isis. there are concerns by the turk that is the kurds will try to take over part of it, in response turkish forces entered and that angered prime minister abadi. right now fear and anker and disagreements between groups have been put aside, the operation has begun. what will happen after ward, that's a long, long way off in terms of trying to figure out who will actually control mosul. what we do right now 80,000 or so iraqi security forces are moving on the city right now. only estimated to be about 2 or 3,000 isis fighters left in the city but, maria, more than a million civilians trapped inside that city right now so as the fighting kicks up a lot of people and a lot of danger, the un and iraqi governments are preparing for hundreds of thousands civilians to be fleeing in the next few weeks. big concern, of course, trying to limit civilian casualties as

the city is retain by iraqi security forces, maria. maria: thanks very much, we will check back as news develops. joining us right now former u.s. embassador to united nations and american enterprise institute senior fellow john bolton. embassador, good to see you. >> good morning, glad to be with you. maria: give us your insight. they have been in place in mosul two years. >> largely what you're listening to now is iraqi propaganda. they are very good at announcing the start of new offensive and also very good of announcing the conclusion of an offensive but those two things are usually coin kid -- coincidentally relate today reality. they are largely suicide troops and prepared to die there and take as many iraqi forces as they can and raises the question of what the u.s. strategy is. it's certainly the case.

isis has lost territory over the last year but retreated in very good order. they have cost enormous casualties and the iraqi advance, let's be clear is a equivalent to an advance by the tehran. the iraq government is a surrogate so our assistance is aiding iran. i think that one of the things that we have seen in earlier battles, the kind of classic vietnam-era statement that we had to destroy the city in order to save it as conner powell said, there's large numbers of civilians at risk in mosul. substantial risk this is a largely sunni city that the iraqi government shiite militia

will create horrible atrocities. they have in prior battles where territory has been taken back and god knows what's going to be left of the structures in the city after the bombing and artillery and combat that we are toobt see unfold. dagen: embassador, is this assault on mosul, attempt to retake the city is it evidence of support for the islamic state in the region and how the people in these regions are turning against this kind of harsh rule by the terrorists? >> well, some are for sure but the people who are attacking the city of mosul today are not largely sunni arab iraqi citizens. they are under control of shiite in baghdad backed by shiites in tehran. they are not going to look forward being ruled by the

shiite government in the future. that's what's part of the problem is. let's be clear as well. as i said a moment ago, the retreat from isis from territory it took two years ago in iraq has been orderly and controlled and i think what's largely happening is they contract is many of the isis fighters are simply going some where else to the country we use today call libya, to the country we used to call yemen and other places around the middle east where they are just carrying on their training and recruitment activities. kevin: embassador, it's kevin kelly. one of the main questions that i have due to wikileaks that isis is supported by saudi arabia, so one of the biggest questions that you bring up when you bring yemen, how often are we coordinating with our allies, saudi arabia when it comes to isis and what's happening in yemen as well, so are they moving from mosul in yemen and having circular conflict with ourselves? >> i think from the wikileaks

releases, these were statements by hillary clinton that the government of saudi arabia were funding isis. i would be surprised if that's true. it's certainly the case that a number of the gulf kingdoms have funded radical islamist groups. some of which are in opposition to the assad regime and in opposition to isis as well. that's one of the reasons that the lack of american strategy here is -- is to problematic. this is a very complex battle space. it's not one side against another side it's about five or six sides fighting for this territory. maria: let me switch gears embassador and turn you to the election, donald trump and hillary clinton will face off in third presidential debate wednesday night moderated by fox news' chris wallace, they are going to be discussing foreign hot spots, that's one topics chris is going to focus. what exactly do you believe should be the most important

priorities. what should donald trump be focused on? what should be priorities in terms of hot spot? >> the three most immediate threats to the united states worldwide are the continuing threat of international terrorism number one and number two the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, nuclear, chemical and biological and the middle east is the place where it all comes together with terrorists like isis to be sure but with iran remaining the largest funder of terrorism, the biggest state supporter of terrorism around the world and well on its way toward deliverable nuclear weapons. these are the sorts of things you need to focus on. if you want to look at the conflict now, american influence in the region has declined for eight years, russian influence increased, iranian influence has increased. there's a nuclear arms race in the middle east all because of policy. under obama hillary clinton will simply continue having helped

originate many of them. this is the path to disaster for the united states and its friends like israel and frentsdz in the arab world. harlan: so we know what we are going to get with hillary clinton but i'm not really sure what we are going to get from donald trump when he's been pressed in the past on what his plan he says it's a secret. that answer is inadequate in the presidential debate and so what specifics can we expect from him at least in your mind. >> well, i don't know what he's going to say in the debate. what he has said in prior speeches he wants to rebuild america's military and that is the absolute prerequisite. the necessary foundation to try and recreate the positions of strength that america has had around the world and abandoned in the past four years. it's also not enough as hillary clinton has said to say, well, i once recommended a slightly stronger posture in syria.

the most important issue, the single most important reality in the middle east today is the iran nuclear deal, which is a disaster for the united states because it gives iran open path to nuclear weapons and therefore the possibility not just of delivering them via ballistic missile but by giving them to terrorist groups. hillary clinton unequivocally supports the iran nuclear deal. that in my mind alone disqualifies her as being president. maria: how easy would be it be to reverse that deal? >> by the president, five minutes afternoon on january 20th saying we are aggregating the deal. the united states is no longer bound by it, we are going to treat iran as a state and act according toly. that's all it takes, a president can do that. a president can withdraw from a treaty that the senate has ratified. it's amaze to go me that this hasn't been made clear but the president could do that immediately on taking office.

maria: all right, we will leave it there. good to see you. thank you so much. we appreciate it. embassador john bolton there. fox news will take you live to the third presidential debate moderated by chris wallace. special prime time coverage kicks off at 6:00 p.m. live from las vegas this wednesday and thursday. hope you will join us. coming up a violent turn after state after republican headquarters was burned in north carolina burned and vandalized. ongoing search for the suspect this morning. growing number of retailers are saying they will close their doors on thanksgiving day. that is next. back in a moment

quote, the attack on the orange county headquarter is unacceptable. donald trump slammed democrats tweeting animals representing hillary clinton and dems in north carolina fire bombed our office because we are winning. well, we are also following the fallout from the devastating flooding in north carolina. the first estimate of the state caused by hurricane matthew stands at one and a half billion dollars. one thousand homes were affected by the flooding and with some water still yet to recede the price tag could go higher. north carolina governor expected to unveil a plan on how the state is going to rebuild and how much it will cost eventually. we will give you numbers then. finally this. you may have to change shopping plans. a new report suggesting that many retailsers are not going to be open this year. big name staples, barns&noble,

i don't think it will. as to the economy, last job's report was not very good, it was mostly excuse me part part-time jobs created, that's not such a vigorous kind of an economy particularly because all jobs are not created equal, part-time jobs, flipping hamburgers. maria: dagen, we are waiting on retail sales and look at gdp and it's been pretty consistent and slow. dagen: i guess a since of malaise that you see pockets of good news but not enough good news broadly to really lift all boats, if hillary clinton gets elected what happens, based on her policy, do you think they get pushed through. >> first of all, i think the election will be a negative

because the plan basically is raise tax and raise regulation. i don't think that's a formula to get anything jump-started. dagen: like a market negative. immediate market negative. >> well, immediate country negative. economy negative. how the market will react, who knows, they will probably be glad the damn thing is over with. [laughter] maria: initially. >> so many twists and turns and probably more to come. maria: over time there's an impact of more regulation, when you look at some of per policies and higher taxes. isn't that true, kevin? kevin: one of the biggest issues that could be facing is her tax policy. only 10% tax rates, business 15% and makes us competitive in underdeveloped world.

you think about clinton policies, whatever is politically convenient for them at the time. she was against keystone excel pipeline and then she was for it once donations to bill clinton. when it goes to ttp who knows what she will do. what do you think when it comes to trade policy, seems like trump has a better trade policy in place that she does? >> i think ttp is pretty well dead. one of the most interesting things he said, the independent -- the trade commission makes a report on each pending trade deal. their analysis according to sandy did not include what they called the transition period, that's when everybody gets laid off because of jobs going overseas. they specifically ignored even

though he requested them to deal with it. now he's a ranking democrat. if he's not going for it, she's going to have a tough time getting it through the congress. dagen: i will point out in front page in wall street journal today that some major international investors are basically changing their outlook because of the negativity towards trade and they're moving out of stocks that had been bowied by globalization and trade in three decades. they are concerned about the rhetoric from her and donald trump and really what's going around the world. >> well, it's a global thing. i think people are tired not of trade but of bad trade transaction, bad trade deals, what do you think our cumulative with méxico, one trillion dollars. that's a whole extra year's worth for the mexican economy.

maria: i don't think trump can get in there and put harsh tariffs in place as much as he wants to redo deals. >> was kind of a blunted -- 3,000 item and throw up big tariffs, no negotiations, no thinking, it was in the middle of the depression that they did it. it was the worst time to do radical move. this would be much more surgical product by product. maria: before you go, i want to ask you about the british pound. there's an interview with john malone over the weekend, the plunge in the sterling is going to have takeovers in britain whereas you're going to see u.s. companies acquire uk companies. do you believe that to be true? >> i wouldn't be surprised because it's been a pretty severe cut and they haven't

triggered article 50 yet. so if brexit really does occur it's going to be at least two years from now and probably a good year more than eu tens of billions of euros as a divorce payment, less likely it becomes that they are going to do it or do it in a hurry. maria: do you think they'll be deals? >> sure, because uk isn't going to zero. the economy there is actually pretty good. i was with the british embassador at the imf a week or so ago, telling me it's fine. it hasn't fell any repercussions. maria: interesting. there's so much hysteria around it. good to see you. still to come donald trump raising concerns about the fairness of this election. why he's calling the raise for the white house rigged. that is next. we will check it out.

the suspension of elon musk for new tesla product after postponing reveal. what to expect? back in a minute i use what's already inside me to reach my goals. so i liked when my doctor told me that i may reach my blood sugar and a1c goals by activating what's within me with once-weekly trulicity. trulicity is not insulin. it helps activate my body to do what it's supposed to do

release its own insulin. trulicity responds when my blood sugar rises. i take it once a week, and it works 24/7. it comes in an easy-to-use pen and i may even lose a little weight. trulicity is a once-weekly injectable prescription medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. it should be used along with diet and exercise. trulicity is not recommended as the first medicine to treat diabetes and should not be used by people with severe stomach or intestinal problems or people with type i diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. trulicity is not insulin and has not been studied with long-acting insulin. do not take trulicity if you or anyone in your family has had medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 or if you are allergic to trulicity or its ingredients. stop using trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as itching, rash, or difficulty breathing; if you have signs of pancreatitis such as severe stomach pain that will not go away and may move to your back, with or without vomiting or if you have symptoms of thyroid cancer,

addressing those claims and concerns over many -- media bias. i think what donald trump is talking about is the support of the national media for hillary clinton's campaign. their willful ignorance about the avalanche of hard evidence not allegations but hard evidence coming out in these e-mails of collusion and pay for play politics. the american people are just tired of it. he's swinging it every few of them of his imagination. he's swinging in every field some of his own imagination. the clinton campaign. the average coming up. and the remnants of the typhoon is hitting the northwest. will tell you where it stands now. elon musk has just delayed the latest launch. it was expected today.

bank of america et cetera report ahead of the open today also watching whether the bank will keep up the challenge. they were all better than expected. check into broader markets were expecting a lower opening. the downtown industrial average under some selling pressure. we got about 40 points. it's declined across the board as well. we do have a meeting this week. the index also weaker my half of 1%. mixed action overnight in asia. the other majors were down almost 1%. acosta look at the airlines first-class shoe. >> at just 22 days until the election and donald trump is

blaming the media. also at many polling places. he will accept the results of the election. whatever they are. we will accept the results of the election. the american people will speak in an election that will culminate on november the eighth. but the american people are tired and the obvious bias in the national media. jack kingston. thank you so much for joining us. they're getting slammed by democrats and the mainstream media by the way. do you agree that it is rigged. there is overwhelming bias against any conservative candidate but donald trump in particular. i think the media has attacked him with a vengeance.

one number that caught my attention they dedicated 57 seconds to wiki links. twenty-three minutes against trump. that is typical for what we been seen. not just the present topic. but for months now. i know you have a theory about this. it is largely left-wing and liberal. they regret giving rise to

donald trump. this is my theory because they gave him so much media coverage during the nominating process. and they covered him over and over again because he was incredible. and now they had regrets. i posted -- they posted on page six. and they say in this article who leaked that. also in the article it says that they have another damaging tape. and there was a part of what they said.

it will never seal. i think it's important to note that the media has come out and try to defend themselves. it's complete hypocrisy. it has been from some uncovering of private information i just find it funny that that's been the excuse. it's unethical for us to report on this. >> if you look at the tax returns obtained illegally by the new york times they have no qualms published in the butt a couple years ago when that climate gate skin document in 2009 they said they would not publish or reveal that story because the information was obtained illegally. total hypocrisy by the new york times. >> can i raise one issue really quickly? trump uses the word rigged and some of his surrogates had

tried to explain to the he's talking about the media but he also tweeted that he's talking about polling places. when you tell your supporters that it's a rigged, doesn't hurt voter turnout for him? he make it what we want to do is make sure that our base doesn't get discouraged by the attacks on donald trump that they do is show up. we have seen many fishy things happen over the years in some of these polling places chicago has always been picked on but in reality it happens all over the country. with cap pole rosters. it's just part of the game. we don't have the machine politics that the democrat party has. the come out of a different culture background politically and they were very good at it. we have to be on our toes. we be on our toes.

people were dead and the is not out of the world. it's a real issue. what was really alarming was traveling all over the country and seeing how vulnerable our infrastructure was. donald trump was the first candidate to raise this. he was ridiculed but that we saw barack obama and nsa come out and say our infrastructure is a vulnerable and this is an issue of national security there are so many accusations and evidence that has been material to her character. she talked to open trade open borders pay to play. she coordinated with packs that were in support of her. that's illegal that's against the law. should a public and a private position because people can't handle the truth. there is so much here she set a target rich candidate.

for the media to ignore it is just journalistic malpractice. i don't see how they can recover from this in the long-term. they show one of the e-mails top aides were upset that a muslim man was named as the shooter a clinton consultant sends a story on the shooting reported by msnbc to modesta he responds will better if a guy named sayed that a guy named christopher hayes. and that screams volumes of how uncomfortable they are with the work are radical and jihadists they will never say those words. that's why they're so ineffective when it comes to the war on terrorism. also in the wiki leaks it does show that hillary clinton says that terrorism is not a threat to the united states. where these people coming from

there's even more than that. the treatment of catholics the naacp that turned the latino against bill richardson. two different stands on trade stance on trade policy. untaxed policy. the list goes on and on and you're right it's journalistic malpractice and in total hypocrisy but i will be quick to say this even if it was any of the other 16 candidates i think the media would still be doing this. they will rise to the threat. donald trump is a threat to the establishment into them and they're using all of those guns as they need to get him out of this race. but they would've done the same to any of the other 16 candidates we see this over and over again with the media.

they are relentless. just went through all of the front pages of the new york times a word about wikileaks on any of the top stories there. congressman, good to see you. we will take you your life to the third presidential debate seeking decide for yourself. our coverage begins at 6:00 p.m. eastern on wednesday night. we hope you will join us. thousands of people in oregon and washington left in the dark after severe winds and rains swept through the region. we will be back in a minute.

we will be back in a minute. were looking at a lower opening this morning. take a look at features of a

decline. total earnings bank of america just hitting the tape. $21.6billion in revenue for the third quarter on bank of america. there is a stock this morning and has improved in the last few minutes. a couple of other names on the move this morning were watching pepsico. they cut sugar content on many of its products. its goal is to have two thirds of its drinks contain 100 calories or fewer by 2025. several more executives are slated to leave the country --dash my company this week. the president announced in august he will retire at the end of the year. his stock was up nearly 10%

year-over-year. a pickup truck plunges off of the bridge a bridge killing four people in san diego. a member of the u.s. navy has been arrested after his truck fell 60 feet from the bridge for people were killed nine others injured and a festival that was happening below the bridge. the driver was taken to the hospital with major injuries we don't know his rank he was later arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. another from the los angeles area that was at the festival. thousands of homes in the pacific northwest remain without power. strong storms slammed the entire region. it brought powerful winds. you are looking at those pictures. it brought down many trees and power lines across the area luckily no injuries have been reported so far. wikileaks said that the

founder that his inter- internet access has been cut off. they are saying the contingency plans are being made for him it has been held up in london for more than four years. meanwhile she paid him a visit yesterday she was torturing him with bringing him begin food. and finally this forget the back to the surface shoes. there's only one pair and it's available through ebay charity auction. a video display and even a wi-fi spot on the shoes. there's been 60 beds so far.

we should also say the money is going to seoul for souls. they actually support those countries. so much to talk about. i really want to know how she got to him. >> that is such a strange story to me. these are good numbers. organ had to see if it focuses on the cost-cutting efforts. they're looking to cut $5 billion and they really cheered that. it seems if they beat them because of the cost-cutting efforts they were expected to earn 34 cents per share to say you know this quarter and actually beat as you can see doing 41 cents. last year it was 37 cents.

they beat even last year's comp numbers. they've been trying to focus on that in light of trading revenues being down as well as the investment banking revenues being down. this is a good overall number. it's probably get a be one of the leadership groups on the upside this morning. hopefully they can pull it higher into the open. we were expecting a tesla review today but they're putting off the announcement for a couple more days.

maria: a lot of it is a patient for elon musk in the new tesla product. he is moving the announcement to wednesday. needs a few more days of refinement. after tweeting last week that the products unveiling on the 17 unexpected by most. join us right now is lauren. what you think this big announcement is and why would he push it back? >> i don't think it's going to be a car or a motorcycle or a pickup truck he has a lot of flak just this morning were getting more news that germany is saying you cannot use that in your advertising i think he's gonna is can come up with

a two-point oh version. >> the auto problems that have been reported so far and you think it's have any impact on the enthusiasm for the brand and even the vehicles i think the enthusiasm for the brand was that he have long range it was a cool looking car almost every single manufacture rolled out an electric vehicle and it will hurt him in the big picture. i can tell you the price point is less the model three which is not out. this is gonna hurt him. he needs cash flow i think there is can be some big impacts coming his way. >> i think one of the biggest questions facing investors and consumers will they ever be able to fix and ramp up their production.

do you think they will be able to fix that to compete with the chevy volt. he's can have a production capacity function. his economic able to produce the numbers he would like to produce especially in the model three. they're so far behind you won't even see the car until 2018 in addition to that he's can have a lot of competition. i actually know a couple people who bought multiple vehicles. it's gonna be interesting as far as production. he his the floor models which are version he can't sell. i'm sure by the fourth quarter

it's monday october 17. here are your top stories. trump doubles down. the republican nominee targets the mainstream media for its bias towards hillary clinton. donald trump has kind of started to go wilder and wilder than losing the first two debates. he started to make while the claims and scorch her claims about the election being raped. i think without the unending. trump would be beating hillary by 15 points. iraqi forces have started their campaign to reclaim the city from isis. the details coming up. samsung galaxy note seven they are banning it on all flights. a recent string of bankruptcies says about the broader economy and how well

that play out. bank of america just reported its fourth-quarter results moments ago. they were held by strong results. as you see there. because of better-than-expected earnings as well. the decline of about 30 points on the dow jones industrial average. the declines across the board as you will see here and a third of a% across the euro zone. your winners in japan. they're down almost 1% as was shanghai and china. a wild night and the nfl. the texans top the colts in overtime. we have some highlights. they are pushing back on the league's rules over twitter. twitter. all of the stories coming up.

great show so far you guys. and i see our famous guest waiting in the wings. >> enjoyed the conversation. judge andrew napolitano is here. and sheila bair is with us. i want to get your take on what went down on wells fargo and the sales processes in general. amid new claims the mainstream media bias rigging him in the election against the campaign. without the unending one-sided assault trump would be beating hillary by 15 points. >> and the timing of these unsubstantiated claims that have come forward all of which he has categorically denied.

>> i think by all accounts of losing the debates that he is making wild claims about the election being raped. maria: ed, good to see you. i want to ask about the media and whether or not donald trump is fading this up hail batter scale. -- uphill battle here. do you agree with the claims about being raped with the media ? >> the media has always have a bias towards democrats since i've been in the game. he have great advantages in the primary and obviously the media has turned on him. that's why you've other alternatives of the campaign. if your own ability to go out and communicate.

what do you guys think about this. doesn't matter that they are all pushing hillary and may not be covering this fairly given that there is a new world today. he of online social media, drudge and those things. >> i feel it matters but he needs to stop complaining about it. maybe reinforces his supporters and their support of him but i don't see what it gets him in for terms of independent voters and democrats. maria: they may not really be aware. >> i think less and less people read newspapers or follow things on mainstream television but at the same time there has been a drumbeat out there and there's certainly been the love lost.

we have to quit worrying about national polls they don't mean a darn thing at this point in time maria: this is important. they put out their new poll yesterday and has clinton had by 11% that's a pretty big lead but it's a completely different story in another poll and it's taken during the exact same time . it has the two candidates in a statistical dead heat. >> four points is the margin that obama have over romney last time. when you're dealing in the fox poll this is right in the middle of the two. forty-five-38.

-- what you think? >> i've always had my own biases on polls it's like instruments in an and an airplane you have to have them but at the same time yet understand there's a lot of different ways of looking at it. the problem with the nbc poll is that if you basically believe that trump is only trailing women by 8% i think you have to throw that poll out. if the poll matches my gut i believe it if it doesn't i go to another one. we've enough today. i think that race is a seven or 8% race. it's state-by-state. clearly trump is behind and the electoral college today and that's it's been a matter

at the end of the day. >> it looks like he's pulling out of virginia. that is wednesday night he basically has to make him look at a different way. the probability is that he will freeze it where it is today. we've had 56 elections in this country and would never miss an election. we've had wars and revolutionary wars is very important. by others talking about elections being raped i've been about politics. they're very few cases where there's ever voter fraud and it's very small. no presidential race has been lost by voter fraud. if two people have the ability to have an objection and al gore when he lost and they haven't. you can go back in history.

you can't go back ever and show me in the election were someone said it was rock one by fraud. by using the word rigged even if they say that they're talking about the media they are still tweeting. does that discourage people from either going out and voting. i think it with anything in both cases is energizing democrat voters who the conspiracy theory but in the democrats could take that po and argued we have to get out and work hard. it's close. he mentioned that you kind of need to pivot want to disenfranchise his base it's not going away. they are still there. he has reinforced it. there is no evolving.

they need new people. florida is obviously critical. and he said look he has been to in florida at this point. he has to win everything that romney one last time. pennsylvania started to slip away. it is very critical and some of the smaller states. they have to be in ohio. it's still a state we can win. to think pennsylvania is off the table at this point. if turnout was not what we think it's good to be maybe he still can't pull it off. i think at the end of the day what difference does it make

if african americans african-americans turned out at 13% in the last two elections. they go back to 11%. the neck in a vote for trump. to your point in pennsylvania you can travel all around pennsylvania and see nothing but trump science. there's some pretty big name donors. he is investing 1.5 dollars and the trumpet campaign. they raise a hundred $54 million in september. does this put him at a disadvantage in what is your thought. >> i'm very pleased that he put money in. the other millionaires had put money into the race. at the end of the day she has

at least a two-one advantage. she will have advantages. he still has the dynamic opportunity and has to do it on wednesday night. otherwise her neck in a be in it. they are not eating at the dog food bottom line. it doesn't mean she can't win the presidency. she certainly has to be favored to win the presidency. unless they can convince this. basically he can be president. and there's a different vision for the country such a big

event. as far as where we are. thank you. we will take you life it to the third debate. it will kick off at 6:00 p.m. on wednesday night. join us alive. the new push to drive it out. and then fall is here. near record heat hits. we are back in a minute. what powers the digital world? communication.

>> welcome back. putting stronger than expected results. good to see you. thanks for joining us. we have more today on bank of america what's your take away on financials. a lot of it is about bond trading for bank of america but financials in general we are looking for some good things to come from financials. we think that they will raise rates in december it will help their net interest margin also the regional banks. getting back to that the financials can be broken up

into different sectors within it. we like the exchanges we see that they have a great market share their growing their consolidating its doing really well in the big banks have this over 202000 pages of recommendations. we will more focus on the regional side or would you go to the big money center banks. we like financials across the board. but we favor the regional banks and specifically the smiler regional banks. it doesn't matter who we get for president we have trump is going to reduce regulations and hillary clinton has said she was reduced regulations on the small banks. we think the regional banks have an opportunity to perform. we look at what's happening with these big banks. they continue to have some reputational risk. we think they will do better.

>> what about the broader markets. we are in an environment here where we've been able to grind higher and we think we continue to do that. the concern is valuation's are stretched. it is fully valued we know valuations are not enough to set the market back. the has to be the catalyst. we could have a geopolitical event. until then we think the recipe is in place for the market. because people are anticipating that so much. it's probably not the one rate hike in december alone might be more if rate tight is celebrate significantly. our concern is policy misstep by the fed.

by any stretch of the imagination. she gets afraid frankly. it seems to me what is a likelihood of having a recession in the next president's first term. only because of where we are in the economic expansion. by the time we get to the end of that term it will be the longest in history and we are operating dangerously close to recession levels now. we've seen a job growth slowing. there are some concerns there if we look over four years where we are in the economic cycle is quite likely based on

historical precedent. maria: is anything that you can point to that could break us out of that. what would it be that actually triggers some economic activity and unleashes a business. >> when we look at this economic expansion we been growing very slow we talk about lower rates for longer when you're talking about were talking about the interest rates and we talk about slower growth for longer. what is growing so slow that that in itself could expand this economic cycle further we've never reached that velocity for this economy. we've never seen those repeated four and 5% quarters think were going to keep getting these fits and starts there's the risk it will be there and probably increasing. that's why think a tax tax reform is so important. there is a potential to get

business unleashed. >> the only way to do it is through fiscal policy. we've thrown in unprecedented volunteer -- monetary policies. there's nothing you could do the fed governors are cemented themselves. that's why there to raise rates in december. the economy as where it's at right now if they don't do it will scare the market. you look at the ecb at the last meeting and what did he do, i'm done for now he said the country is with fiscal space they needed to do something on the fiscal side. in japan there trying to find their way and really that's what we need. we need a shift in policy for monetary to fiscal and that could be the catalyst. >> if we were to dip into a recession recession how does the fed respond. >> they can't raise interest rates they will buy more

bonds. and we will just wait for traction from them. maria: growing concerns of conclusion between the fbi and hillary clinton campaign over her e-mail a scandal. the new files that hint at a quid pro between the two. highlights from the thrilling comeback in the cold to disseminate. if only the signs were as obvious when you trade. fidelity's active trader pro can help you find smarter entry and exit points and can help protect your potential profits. fidelity -- where smarter investors will always be. i spent many years as a nuclear missile launch officer. if the president gave the order we had to launch the missiles,

>> good monday morning everybody. the top stories right now. gearing up for the final debate. hillary clinton is laying low while donald trump is headed to the battleground state of wisconsin today. the questions over quid pro quote is a campaign on edge. with all of the wikileaks about her which allows tm to bury them. it's far more relevant. i can't think of a precedent of a foreign nation trying to destabilize an american election. were taking a closer look at the race coming up. a police officer shot in alaska the suspect still on the run this morning after stealing a police cruiser. they reacted to the national

anthem protest. we will bring into coming up. the shares are up. they're considering changes to the u.s. strategy that could include giving up the investment banking division. they're looking really bouncing. the financials once again the firmer spot. the client across the board. the share of the market is off to the lows of the morning. it's very much a mixed story. big weekend for the box office. the last hour john bolton told me,.

>> five minutes afternoon on january the 20 dissent we are aggregating the deal the united states is no longer bound by it. that's all it takes. the president can do that. they can unilaterally withdraw from a treaty. it hasn't been made clear. it's joining me right now. judge, good to see you. if the trump is elected to move all of these polls is it possible for him to just nullify this deal upon taking office. he's been complaining he has been complaining about the deal from day one. known as an executive agreement. the agreement between the chief executive hillary

clinton likes this deal a could aggregated with struggle within. this is not a treaty. a treaty is actually higher than a statute. the legal equivalent of added to the constitution and the president is bound by it. the people want to make sure that obama's legacy is intact whether it be about obama care or the iran deal. these are things that donald trump said he's just going to rip these things. >> this is just one of the things the president can do on his own. any order signed by barack

obama can be extended modified or extended by any successor for any reason without involvement of the congress. >> report found that state department's out judge you've got to explain this to us is this another attempt to cover up the clinton mistakes. this is an attempt to tamper with evidence. it was offered but not done. state department fbi. if you remove if you remove or alter some of the markings on those e-mails we can find some posts overseas for fbi agents. it sounds like a bribe or an offer to commit a bribe. one of the officials again according to these e-mails if

the e-mails are accurate and said forget about it were neck and to comply with it at all. that's not enough. that person who offered it ought to have been charged with offering a bribe attempting to tamper with evidence and attempting to obstruct justice. nothing happened. >> is a state department staffer says this was the request and that will give you a cushy jobs overseas. they rejected it one of the reasons we are finding these things out is that so many in the fbi i'm talking about men and women agents of the field level those who actually do the investigation not management are so furious at management for giving hillary a pass on all of this that they're beginning to leak. it's not right for them to do it but we can understand their anger in these leaks totally, completely undermined the

decision to not see her indictment. maria: when we were watching the testimony life of james call me i was thinking to myself wow, he's cannot recommend charges. that he doesn't recommend charges. >> i've never seen in following this professionally the fbi director or any major law enforcement official recommend against indictment and then to give all give all the reasons why they should be. and then say by the way no prosecutor would take this. let me move on. the only player in this whole e-mail scandal to actually go behind bars he was first to reveal that clint had classified material onto private server. let's not forget this is how we found out. now in the midst of all this he sent back to romania what's going on here.

>> this is a little complicated. the part-time agent for the remaining government boasted that he could hack mrs. clinton like that. they could be x did. while i know i didn't exactly hack her. i hacked sid blumenthal. her close aide who she wanted to be her assistant at the state department that is how he got mrs. clinton's classified e-mails. why did obama next him as an assistant. >> because of his experience

in the 2008 election and then senator obama. they hired him at the clinton foundation and paid him twice what he would've said. and then received her e-mails. those for the e-mails of ever hacked. and this is why the public is so outraged by the story. >> always a pleasure. we will take you live to the third to be on wednesday night. moderated by our own chris wallace. we come to you live live right from the debate stage. how much of the big budget heroes. back in a minute.

going to go and do this through policies mrs. clinton are you going to keep printing money are you going to keep doing these fiscal stimuluses to nowhere or mr. trump, are you going to really cut taxes cut regulation, unleash your energy sect, do trade that is what this is about people watching are hungry for of that time i get on media, the hosts always say yaesht we talking about policy. >> talk about that have to last debate he did say he was he going to cut taxes she was but only going to benefit him going to benefit the rich, and --. >> and so when we looked at a lot of coverage post debate last time they didn't cover how he wanted to get rid of regulation, how he wanted to help out on taxes, they didn't cover it. >> that is why i asked -- what is it going to take to unleash business because we know it is a roll back of regulation and lower taxes on the corporate side is that resonating with people. >> he focused on taxes.

>> -- the narrative in election to be about more than taxes, okay? it is a lot more than talking it is mostly about trade it is mostly about ohio and north carolina seeing all the jobs go to mexico, or china. it is about a regulatory environment costs this country two trillion dollars a year households 15,000 dollars a zbleer. dagen: there is not that much difference between him and her on trade anymore of her positions now. >> please, please, please, please! . >> hillary clinton was responsible for nafta in 1993 hillary and bill clinton spoibl for china into wto cost is 70,000 factors, hillary clinton signed the 2012 south korea deal negotiated that wholly deal promised us 70,000 new jobs we wound up losing 95,000 jobs, doubling our trade deficit with south korea hitting mostly auto industry if you get a candidate like

hillary clinton, telling you that she is going to be to have you on trade and you believe it, please, because -- >> talking specifically about infrastructure spending were aren't. >> you. dagen: infrastructure spending. >> we will talk infrastructure we got a great -- >> sure. >> sure. >> because trump came out and said i am going to double what hillary clinton does, and if you are a conservative you don't think that infrastructure spending is end all be-all for economic growth but he is going to spend double with a she wants to spend he said that. >> back on me and wul burr will walk through a beautiful infrastructure plan uses revenue neutral tax credits basically build trillion dollars of infrastructure without burdening the taxpayer or without raising taxes and of businesses a great question, because what hillary clinton wants to do with infrastructure plans hear this she wants to raise taxes on businesses, to raise 225 billion dollars, is that pro growth? no she wants a part of that,

and create an infrastructure bank, right -- which is going to leverage funds on nine to one basis as basically introducing subprime lending. to the government. i mean haven't we learned anything from fannie mae and freddie mac. i would say too every time she does not guilty like think it is ruddeled with special outrights the crony capitalist queen i can't imagine another candidate operating in benefit of heirs opposed to people you can with a look happened in haiti promised 60,000 jobs at manufacturing plant, only got 5,000 jobs, because friends of bill, we are consent seeing everything she would do, would be literallied with special interests benefit her and -- >> there was an article new yorker back when she was running, before, and obama was beating her up for nafta they called her laundry lady basically, meaning that all she does is do a bunch of lists that are -- throws things out and people grab on to it like, like she is

actually going to do anything, but -- doesn't pass smell test, barack obama in 2008 when he was running as a candidate against hillary basically promised people of ohio going to get rid of nafta same time he was doing that, his economic advisor who was also hill's now sneaking into canadian consulate saying don't worry he doesn't mean it guess what he didn't mean it because 8 years later we still got nafta destroying north carolina and ohio, pennsylvania all swing states. >> there is a better way to say it we know priority right now needs to be economic growth, the question is how do you get to economic growth, do you move the needle on lowering tags rolling back regulation or do you noov the needle on economic growth another way? is trump doing a good enough job of really communicating that message that the priority right now, is economic growth, and you are not getting economic growth not getting

job creation with what we have seen in the last 8 years. >> i got on set today first thing you asked me about rigged elections we spent whole segment talking economic growth the way that gets done is where people like me, and the candidate basically o he when other crap comes up you go let's talk about about what really matters to people that has to happen. dagen: his supporters and potential supporters since convention have been praying every day, that he would stay on message, and he can't do it -- >> i am telling you every day when i get on -- i talk to radio show that they will k me questions about economics, if they don't i just pivot right to it. >> -- >> beautiful. >> -- needs. >> i am not -- that is the point we've had a great discussion yes sir. >> candidate trump needs to quit making excuses he needs to quit blaming media and other do exactly what you've done rearepoint conversation to what is important if jobs and economy are important talk

about jobs and xi he takes the bait time after time. >> i am here talking about economy, we've got. >> what is he going to do. maria: you are not in his shoes wednesday night peter. >> here is what interesting talk about rigged media thinking about this so far lefter holt martha raddatz anderson coordinate moderators what do they have in common they don't know anything about the details of economic policy, financial markets. of health care, they are basically, celebrities and they did not serve the american people well at all. all three of them i think worse probably anderson cooper, chris wallace has a chance to make a difference, here, i think he will. every single one of those topics are related to the policies which donald trump trumps hillary on tell me a policy where donald trump doesn't have a better policy if you look at economy yeah,

you look at health care, obamacare, a mess, you look at immigration, hill wants open boards donald trump wants to have secure borders, you can go right down the list. >> and we know that we know that his message is much clearer and simple and straightforward lower taxes roll back about regs tap into energy hers not so cohe'sive we don't know how she is going to remove needle on economic growth what is her strategy take him off message take him off what he is talking about because it makes so much sense. >> we will see if he understands that. >> i hope voters have figured that out in the will have the three weeks and demand discussions about policy. maria: why he. >> thank you so much for having a great economics discussion. maria: good to see you. thank you so much he peter navarro we will be right back. d flies to hong kong,

winter, but if you compare it to let's say 2011 to 2013 we are paying somewhere on the order of 10 to 13 billion dollars less each month than in -- >> why? >> because of the price of crude. i mean as low as 26 dollars per crude back to about 50, then probably hang around 50 for a while may be got a new -- 45 to 55 depending how much disappointment happens at opec meeting in vienna. >> seems a lot of talk, i am glad you brought up opec because seems like they just really speak a lot they don't do a lot of action and then even if they do agree to something, they -- increase their capacity anyway don't follow through we're seeing in united states counts up i think a big kroefr hanning around 50 dollar level we get to this level everybody starts pumping out more and more and more oil, because they need cash flow especiallit to service debt. >> you are absolutely right. and you know what determines

price of crude is going to be determined in west z texas lagos nigeria libya in 50s, particularly in west texas, you can make about as much on my or as much profit as you did a few years ago at 80, or 90 dollars efficiency and costs have come way down, so it is really hard to come up with a scenario for let's say 60 to 70 dollar oil, in the next few years, but 45 to 55 seems about right. dagen: with you come up with scenario 30 to 40 dollar oil? >> uh you can it involves recession it involves recession, if you have a recession we will have 30 to 40 dollar oil. >> -- we're not seeing actually acceleration on side of demand. >> most projections or go 1.2 million barrels per day, per year. and that needs to have basically growing academies for that to happen if you get

any kind of softness south america merging countries you are not going -- >> getting stronger isn't that going to have impact on price of oil we talked to about that so much earlier in the year, and now we're starting to see the last month dollar has risen high. >> i think it is at a seven-month high but seduced price of oil if opec really were to get together, and cut production by one million barrels day they are not but if they were you would see prices move up, and move up steadily they will be higher but at end of the decade when a lot of the projects that are ring out of steam will run out of steam and you don't have the big new megadeepwater projects so forth. >> you can't write off idea there could be recession you go back to 30, 40. >> no, and none of the projects have recession in them usually you get recession 8, 9 years of something like that a recession plashl a

severe one would subdue prices 3540, dollar range. >> heating oil demand story there colder months. >> much more efficient use of it we are going to pay more this year, probably about 50 cents more than last year but not going to have 3 and 4,000 dollar bills in the northeast that some people suffered through, in 2013, 14. >> a little bit [either are. >> higher natural gas. >> thanks for joining us, up next, protecting the consumer major impact each administration could have on regulation, economy takes center stage race for white house so many are warning another financial crisis could be on the horizon. back in a moment. and, sprint saves you 50% on most current national carrier rates. save money on your phone bill, invest it in your small business. wouldn't you love more customers? i would definitely love some new customers. sprint will help you add customers and cut your costs.

fargo phony account scandal a cloud over results ohio severs ties with bank for one year, making it third state to take action joining me right now former chairman of fdic sheila baer with us good to see you wells fargo trying to make amendz tell me how you see what it does it need to do right now, to get people to have confidence and feel like okay, they made a mistake but moving beyond it. >> right, still trying to recover from some initially missteps very serious i think what he they are doing now is right. the board is doing an investigation, if there is addition having the to be imposed it will come out as a result of the board's investigation, there are reaching out to consumers, proactively reaching out providing resources for consumers who are concerned it can be done seems to me that they are doing and seem to ride out a lot of pain i think before all over. >> idea of aggressive sales targets not just at wells

fargo, targets and this idea you want to have business, one customer having a checked account want to sell everything from mortgage to savings account to debit card will you expect an industry change is as results to be -- >> as policy result might be to review these, how they are interpreted endorsed with employees. i think you know you can do it right way you should be looking at whether providing value add edd customer if custor wants it reducing costs for customers cost selling isn't necessarily bad the focus needs to be customer benefit not just numbers driving up number of it's leads to gage abuses as well. >> we talked a lot about layings or not the regulatory environment is choking small or medium priced business what is your take on that face it the wells fargo situation was not caught by the consumer protection bureau, the "l.a.

times" -- >> not like this -- overyou know regulatory environment all agencies necessarily making a difference. >> well, i think. >> or is it? >> well i think it is i think i used to say, i still say examiners should be when they show up for and am looking at press reports analyst reports i know the reporter at "l.a. times" a very good reporter did a lot of work during subprime crisis as well journalists can add value i don't necessarily think that is falling down by regulatory but resource regulatoryr should use they work well with them i think it does show value-added but you are right it wasn't, a driver here they responded buth acted appropriate i think warriors it kill a to their tonation. >> what do you want from the regulatory agencies as it applies to banks. >> yeah, well i think, common

sense even handedness simplicity consistence with enforcement i think kinds of things any regulated business needs, in terms of -- being able to grow and profit in responsible way in regulatory framework but you need transparency consistencies, sometimes we get there sometimes we don't. >> isn't it true the whole idea of capital how much to hold right now is still an issue that is keeping banks -- keeping capital holding it. >> right. >> not investing it. >> it is not -- actually capital is just a way to financed your balance sheets not really holding you can fund balance sheet with equities, fund with debt, if you fund your balance sheet with equity, then you have resiliency then to have you pay back a legal obligation to pay equity holders you don't. >> a rule banks have to have so-called -- capital at certain levels not going to use that money or other things because they are going to keep it there. >> that was point i was trying to make yes, they can use that equity xa will to make loans

it is just a different way of funding themselves do i think, regulators, a way you are funding risk taking activities so capital is more expensive than debt to extent that you know, it is more expensive to ray of equity capital over debt it might -- impair your ability to to take risks of a margin may be a good than any in downturn we want resilient banks to absorb losses in downturn why you need extra cushions of capital on that one actually i think rules too complex i think they lend to gage risk based rules the overly trend capital refinements for banks i think health for public. >> what is impact on deutsche bank situation facing more trouble deutsche bank now saying it is looking to shrink u.s. operations, in the face of mounting legal expenses we still don't know how much they owe, the department of justice, first it was 14 billion dollars, now talking about 6 billion dollars, could this situation ripple

throughout the u.s. banking system? >> i think it certainly there has been a already i only assume regulators looking closely at database d.c. coming up with contingency plans they have liquidity there is a resolution mechanism that they didn't have before that allows some government intervention so long as unsecured creditors as well as equity holders take losses first so there are tools in the tool kit we didn't have prior to crisis i think gives germ government ability to handle that in orderly way working with other regulators if they have to at this point i don't think that happening i think they need to downsize i think probably not raefth to raise a lot of capital anything that would be reasonable -- cost the downside may be selling asset management businesses probably what they need to do overtime probably make more valuable franchise if they get shaul insincere do you this about represents potential impact to broader financial system a lot

of people missed the fact we are interconnected if aicom goes down goldman sachs gets impacted, and if lehman brothers goes down, somebody else gets impacted if deutsche bank is forced to sell its derivatives portfolio, does that take more boats down with it. >> i don't think so might sell to stronter stronger counter party i don't know if that would be case cansline charlottes would be destructive we have in place to contain those relationships even if in a situation where bank failed if interconnected yes could there be losses in other wanings if they fail go into resolution yes, exactly the kinds of things banks regulators should look at exposurech mainly u.s. banks to deutsche bank preparing for the worst i don't think going to happen o but you always want contingency plans in place. >> from your standpoint what a very the framework look light

donald trump and hillary clinton outlining their plans trump wants moratorium on financial regulation, hillary clinton wants to crack down on banking system what how will this play out what do you think is required. >> i think there is words apart except one thing restore glass-steagall interesting apparently both parts want to separate commercial banking from investment banking, that is something that interesting to note. you know i would just like -- simple regulation more transparent consistent regulation i think key primary form above all others do i think was to raise capital requirements to banks more resilient in downturn you look at bank like deutsche bank they have a lot of leverage a lot of short-term funding that works fine when markets going up everything good making money there ino capacity absorb losses in downturn when you have to get into public support k which is what a we want to would i i do think requirements are good

cornerstone to regulatory system, want to go get rid of dodd-frank i wouldn't go that far i think many good things about dodd-frank i point out as a good conservative a principled approach based on capital for stable financial system. >> we will leave it there good to see you -- >> thank you so much, joining us there up next rising risk of recession where next big crisis could be next year or so 22 days until election day gop is already holding a victory dinner in the sunshine state, s will this positive thinking turn polls in florida around? back in a minute.
